Bernie Sanders started his campaign back in 2016 with a pretty low profile. No one really knew who he was, maybe they knew he was from Vermont or something of that nature, but he definitely wasn't a huge name in the Democratic Party. He eventually gained ground on Hillary Clinton, the presumptive nominee. People wrote off that she was going to be the nominee right when she entered the race. Sanders burst onto the scene when he basically tied Clinton the Iowa Caucuses. I think when people saw the results, they knew the race would be different.

Voter Suppression: A Critique Of Democracy In The United States

Lindsay D'Addato

The 2018 midterm elections were definitely one for the books. Millennials and Generation-Z voters took the stage by storm, making the young adult voter turnout in 2018 one hundred and eighty-eight percent that of the young voter turnout in 2014. And that's just in early voting. Early voting was five times higher in 2018 than in 2014 in both Texas and Nevada, turning close and contested Senate races in their favor. Ever since the U.S. Census Bureau started keeping track of voter-age data (1978 for midterm races and 1964 for presidential races), 18-29 year-olds have had the lowest voter turnout out of any age group. This election saw such a huge increase in young voter turnout that some predicted that the youth vote would predict the outcome for this year's election.

Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump won their respective parties' primaries. What does that mean for the other candidates?

1. Bernie won the New Hampshire Primary, just narrowly beating Pete Buttigieg

2. But the race was closer than the popular vote may lead you to believe

3. And Mayor Pete is definitely playing off of that

4. Despite the loss, Elizabeth Warren is here to stay, it seems

5. As is Tom Steyer

6. And Tulsi Gabbard

7. And former Vice President Joe Biden thinks "it ain't over"

8. But entrepreneur Andrew Yang is calling it quits on the campaign trail

9. And so is Senator Michael Bennet

10. In a not-so-shocking turn of events, Donald Trump won the Republican primary

11. And he made his thoughts very clear about his victory and all the Democratic candidates

"Que te hago si lo encuentro yo" (The things that I would do to you if I find it)

"O limpias o no sales" ( You have to clean or else, you're not going out)

"Te lo tragas por que no me lo regalan ( You have to eat it because I don't get it for free)
